Analyst, Julien Dumoulin-Smith, said, "We are raising our ’12-’15 EPS estimates to $2.30/$1.92/$1.89/$1.95 from $2.29/$1.76/$1.76/$1.85; our higher ’12 estimate is due to favorable weather and a FERC ruling against ETR; later years are higher due to improved MtM fwd power prices and lower coal hedge prices (added PRB at ~$8/ton in 2Q for ’13 delivery)."
